Hello people who followed me because I'm a curmudgeonly rural southern DSA organizer currently struggling with the faltering bureaucracy at national. I should warn you I also do tattoos, farming, history, and video games.

Pretty much all of these topics except tattoos will have a strong rural bent to them. The city left has a lot of folks to tell you their stories. The rural left, well, not so much.

Living rural is kind of a weird identity because while absolutely as fundamental to the ways I interact with the world as, eg, my disability (I tweet about that too) theoretically I could stop being rural any time I want.

I mean except for the part where large urban centers make me feel like I'm suffocating and suburbs give me conformity hives.

Anyway leftists in the city can, if they want to, specialize and talk about one thing. There's a million city voices that will pick up the slack on other fronts.

Meanwhile my zip code hit a high population of 950ish people around 2014 and in the last 4 years has declined to around 750, with just under 200 households.

That means I have roughly 8 times as many twitter followers as there are people in my entire zip code, making me in fact the most famous person here. It's a low bar, ok?

Anyway, thank you to new & old followers for coming along with me as I rant & ramble through Twitter. Here's baby animals for your trouble. The lambs are Soay sheep, a rare primitive breed. The calf is Gwylwylyd, a baby Kerry bull who is going to grow up to be my right hand ox.pic.twitter.com/XOFIKMTFSt

You’re probably the best person on Twitter to know. Plus you like my history/arky rants.
